Genesis 34 — Rape and Retribution
10/07/2024Something significant is missing in Genesis 34 as we read one of the most shocking stories of Scripture. How do you preach Christ in a text where a violent act is met with severe retribution? Are Jacob’s sons exercising just judgment or personal revenge? Does this episode parallel the later conquest of Canaan? We seek […]

Ephesians 2:11–19 — Brought Near in Christ
03/07/2024Paul calls upon his readers to remember five realities of their former life: separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants, having no hope, and without God. But the glorious good news is “BUT NOW in Christ Jesus” those who were far off have been brought near. Jesus, through his […]

Ephesians 2:4–10 — The Good News
05/06/2024Although humanity is dead and lost in sin, with no way to merit favor with God, God is rich and mercy and loves his people with a great love.

Mark 1:1-15 — The Beginning of the Gospel
15/05/2024In this episode, we introduce the Gospel of Mark. We also explore how Mark introduces us to the person of Jesus Christ and the Gospel. Of special interest is the redemptive nature of the Gospel. This is shown by Mark’s high Christology (Jesus is God), John’s baptism, and Jesus’ successful resistance of Satan’s temptation. Participants: […]

Genesis 33 — Reconciled with God and Man
28/02/2024Moses brings us to the height of the conflict between Jacob and Esau. We look at the need to preserve the tension in the story while connecting it to the larger narrative.

Ephesians 2:1–10 — The Bad News (Part One)
21/02/2024In this episode, we consider the reality that mankind, apart from God’s glorious grace, is completely and totally lost in sin. Before Paul moves to extol the riches of God’s grace in Eph 2:4–10, he first digs down deep to expose the reality of sinful man’s helpless estate. The more we understand the depth of […]

Psalm 18 — David’s Profession of Righteousness
14/02/2024In this episode, we explain the meaning of David’s profession of righteousness. How can David speak about himself as being without guilt, relative to God’s law, when we know he was a sinner? If our salvation is by grace alone, then how can David say that God rewarded him for his righteousness by saving him […]

Ephesians 1:18-23 — Paul’s Prayer (Part Two)
07/02/2024In part two of Paul’s Prayer we return to consider Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian believers. Yes, Paul’s burden is that the Ephesian believers would know the Lord. But what specifically does he pray for them? What specifically, in this passage, does he want them to know? Join us as we reflect on Paul’s — and […]

Ephesians 1:15-18 — Paul’s Prayer (Part One)
17/01/2024In part one of Paul’s Prayer, we will examine how the apostle Paul prays for the Spirit to be at work so that Christians can know God more. Paul’s thankfulness for the believers at Ephesus moves him to constant prayer that God would soften their hearts and open their eyes to hear and believe the […]

Genesis 32:13–32 — Wrestling with God
10/01/2024Jacob expects a conflict with Esau but instead ends up wrestling with an unknown assailant, who can clearly best him at any moment. But when that moment comes, Jacob will not release his hold until he receives a blessing. The content of that blessing points to the God who will not forsake Jacob and will […]

Psalm 5 — Christian Hatred
08/11/2023What is a Christian to do with the imprecatory Psalms? Are they to be read and sung today, and if so, with what understanding? Jim Cassidy talks about how to situate the Psalms within their redemptive-historical context, instead of reading them in the abstract. Participants: Jim Cassidy, Mark A. Winder

Genesis 32:1–12 — Preparing for Conflict
30/08/2023As Jacob continues toward Canaan in obedience to God’s call, he comes up against another significant obstacle: Esau is coming to meet him Genesis 32:1–12—preparing for conflict with a small army. Jacob’s reliance upon God’s covenant promises, and his humble prayer, are models for today’s Christians. We may pray with confidence as did Jacob, for […]

24/05/2023This episode looks at the testing of Jesus that comes on the heels of his baptism.

01/03/2023In Eph 1:11–14 the Apostle Paul describes the glorious heavenly inheritance of the Christian.

Genesis 31:22–55 — Jacob’s Covenant with Laban
15/02/2023The narrative portions of Scripture serve to highlight the paradigm established by Genesis 3:15. In the story of Jacob and Laban we see primarily not a conflict between two human beings but a conflict between the one true God and the gods of Laban. Laban’s gods are helpless and put to shame. Jacob’s God fulfills […]

Psalm 1 — The Blessed Man
14/12/2022We embark on a study through a new book—Psalms. Jim Cassidy provides some important interpretive principles which he illustrates through a consideration of Psalm 1. Written for Israel, a nation under a theocracy, how do the Psalms manifest Christ, and how are they applicable to us today? How may it be said that the Christian […]
